All-on-4 Implants in Borger, TX
All-on-4 replaces a full arch of teeth — upper, lower, or both — with a fixed prosthetic supported by just four implants. The implants are angled and positioned strategically so they can carry a complete set of teeth without needing a separate implant for each one. In many cases, Dr. Robertson can place the implants and the temporary teeth in the same day.
Why four implants work
The back implants are angled to take advantage of denser bone in the jaw, which means the whole arch gets solid support without drilling into areas that might require bone grafting. For patients who've been told they don't have enough bone for traditional implants, All-on-4 is often still on the table.
What's involved
- A planning consultation with 3D imaging to map bone and nerve position
- Any remaining failing teeth extracted at the surgical visit
- Four implants placed per arch
- A temporary set of teeth attached the same day in most cases
- A final custom prosthetic fitted after healing
Who it's a good fit for
All-on-4 suits patients who've lost most or all of their teeth in an arch, or who are dealing with dentures that don't stay put. The fixed prosthesis doesn't come out the way a traditional denture does — it stays in place full-time, which most patients say is the biggest change in daily life. Dr. Robertson will evaluate your bone, health history, and goals to determine whether All-on-4 is right for you or whether another approach fits better.
